Need a new reel.

[lucee81]

hi lucee81,
probably not flash enough for that rod butt i got a 7000 fin-nor egg beater with 300 mtr 50 pound rovex brade from dinger.com for $135.

60 pound drage they reckon' haven't tried it yet but at that prise it's a norther weapon in the arsenal. feel a bit heavy but.

I'm not a big fan of the fin nor and not sure why as a mate has a nice fin nor and never had a problem. Nice to use with a heap of drag.

[lucee81]

I put a 18000 Saragosa on my one........feels really good but I haven't used it to chuck poppers around with it yet, only used it for bottom bashing.

Have you considered a Daiwa Saltiga Dogfight?

Yeah I did consider it even went as far as googling the price.
All I can say is thermomix comes to mind.

[lucee81]

But apparently price will dissuade you?!

Go the saltiga - I've got the 6500 Extreme Maverick and love it!

Cheers,

The the price of a dog fight will dissuade just about anyone.

heh no just saying not many forums you can post such an obscure topic as "I need a new fishing reel" at quarter to 3 in the morning and promptly get an answer in less than an hour.
With just enough time to hit the water.

How about the Daiwa Catalina?.........all the good stuff from the Saltiga without the Hollywood price tag.

What size Dan?

Is there an electric reel with high speed retrieve....?

Oh, that's right, forgot it was Lucas we're talking about here.

Lucas + Electrics + Salt Water = Not Working!

[Dan5]

They do a 4500,6000 and a 6500 from memory..........all the same drag specs etc of the Saltiga's same body etc......Used to be called Saltiga Blast when they bought them out..then changed name to Catalina...I have the 4500H and it's been a great little no nonsense reel.

That they are. Lets ditch this first boat hog and bring on boat hog 2. I bet he is way cooler. And there's a 50/50 chance they are not kiwi.
